I cleaned carpets for over 25 years and you are honest. I use to have home owners ask if we could get the smell out and they never want to hear you need to trash the carpet, pad, tack and seal subfloor. They will always call someone else until it dawns on them that I was right.. lol
Carpets holds onto SO many odors, pet urine being one of the worst. I honestly don't know how some people can live with the smells that come from their carpets.
We did that in our old house, and for some reason in our new house thought our dogs would be better nope.. we had to replace what carpt there is twice, and we replaced quite a ew areas with vinyl planks. Having a dog that refuses to be potty trained is an expensive PITA.
Great information, great video. I have an area in my garage that's carpeted and my dog loves to go there. now I know why, carpet will get demoed soon. Thanks for the great info.
Renters who have pets - this is why some landlords say "No pets" - the cost is very high to throw out all the pad and carpet then hire a company to deep clean the flooring (concrete, etc) underneath. No pet-loving renter is willing to pay the landlord thou$ands of dollars to remove their pet's odors. And if you're a homeowner with pets and carpet, I dare you to look online, right now, at the cost per square foot of brand new carpet installation. *_I double dare you_* .
According to the guy in the video, you have to purchase all new carpet. Three guesses what the guy in the video does for a living. I'll bet he doesn't clean carpets.
Hey man good video! I have a question though, I see videos on CZcams of people using carpet freshener/baking soda to help with pet odors and then I see a handful of videos of people saying not to do it. The people that have been doing it though claim to not have any issues with their vaccuums afterwards but yet the people in the other videos are saying that it will ruin the vaccuum. I think Im leaning towards using it but would like to get a more professional opinion before I proceed.
I've been using baking soda & the scented baking soda carpet refreshers for 10+ years and I've never ruined a vacuum. As long as you clean out your vacuum"s filters and replace them about once a year or so, your vacuum will be fine. Just a tip- use a broom to work the baking soda down into the carpet and let it sit overnight or at least for a few hours before vacuuming it up.
I only have one room in my home thats carpeted - the living room, which is a decent size at about 15x25. When i first bought this house and did some remodeling about 17 years ago - i removed the old carpet/padding to replace it all. Knowing i was going to have pets i painted the entire plywood subfloor to seal it, hoping to prvent anything from soaking into the subfloor in the future. I just had to put down my 2nd German Shepherd at 13.5 years old, who unfortunately came down with a UTI about 1.5 months ago and it took about a week to clear up. 5 years ago i bought myself a Bissel Big Green carpet shampooer which is essentially a big rental unit. Even after my dog not being able to get up for a few days, my beigh berber carpet has no odor or noticable stains. If youre gonna have pets, you need a good carpet cleaner and time is not your friend. My bissell was used almost every day to keep the carpet clean and remove any urine accidents as soon as possible, usually within minutes of anything i saw happening. Im SURE if i pulled up this rug id find some stains in the backing - but for now theres no stains, no ordor, nothing shows under a blacklight and thats good enough.
Ugh I’m moving into a new rental and the bedrooms have carpet and the house smells a lot of dog (I have 2 cats). Luckily I can keep the doors closed to the bedrooms to avoid them from adding to the scent. The landlords had just replaced the carpets before the last tenant so they aren’t looking to replace them again anytime soon. They had the carpets steamed cleaned but I can still smell the oder and now I’m unsure on how to take on the deodorizing and cleaning myself.
Hello, we are on a concrete slab floor and will be getting wood floors in a few weeks. I currently have carpet and use natures miracle and a black light on accidents. I still at times smell urine and it drives me nuts and am very sure it's in the padding. There is no sub floor but what would you advise me to do after they take up carpet before laying new flooring? Should i black light the concrete and spray enzymes? Your help is much appreciated!
"I still at times smell urine and it drives me nuts and am very sure it's in the padding." get rid of the carpet and seal the concrete with epoxy. epoxy is the only thing that can truly kill the stink.
Dang I'm sorry to hear that... if you are still having problems though try Live Pee Free. They have kits that are able to help with the odor problem in carpets :) Here's a link, best of luck!
I’m in an apartment so I can’t just rip up the carpet. I HIGHLY saturated the area with a mixture of hot water, Urine Destroyer pet cleaner, Gain detergent, White House brand lavender vinegar, and dawn dish soap. Think this will do anything? Should I suck it up after a little bit with my steam cleaner or let it sit? Like i just filled up two buckets of this shit and dumped it
Hi, even after I sprayed pet spot remover and shampooed the whole room it still has a horrible smell smell. And I still have dried blood in places. The carpet is only 3 months old. Can you help?
Me too. Mine is 17 now and she is wetting every where. I had a new lodger come today and he mentioned the smell. He said my home was lovely apart from the smell. I rent so I cant do a lot. I'm hoping the enzyme cleaner I've ordered will sort it. I've already replaced all carpets upstairs and banned her from going up there and replaced downstairs with vinyl. Her wee has found its way under the kitchen cupboard and small cracks. She is driving me nuts with the peeing. She misses almost all the pads I put on the floor.
I have a spot in the off set (3x3) where my cats litter box was, unbeknownst to me her urine often missed and hit the wall and run down, but alas, its just that corner (3 x 3 off-set) and I saved some carpet AND I am a Carpet man by trade (well was/Retired) and so is my brother, so in that case I can save my carpet, I had cardboard under the spot, but it ran down the wall. Always get a litter box with a COVER, lol, lesson learned.
only thing that ever worked for me was bleach it down let it dry then apply a sealer to lock the odors under it. i have had rental owners sell their homes because they couldnt get the smell off basement floor.
What's really strange is how my neutered male cat would spray and pee on everything - mainly walls and furniture, anything at his "butt level" where he could back up against it, and yes it would trickle down into the carpet. Then I had new carpet installed 4 years ago, and literally from the very moment the install guys left, he NEVER had another incident like that again. Looking back I still wish I would have considered vinyl or wood flooring, but hey...it worked out! 🤪
You need a good enzyme in that situation osr is the best product to use in that situation no pulling carpet or pad treat in place it will cure it guarenteed
The exact reason I don’t want a pet. There cute but they can really stink up your home. There have only been a few homes I’ve gone to that I cannot smell animals if any live in the house.
listen this will sound crazy but my butter knives fit perfectly into the cracks between. i soak a napkin in some cleaner and wrap the butter knife and go in and then when im done, i can see dirt or maybe pee on the wet napkin
Having wood flooring is actually more expensive because before you lay wood floor their has to be a vapor barrier membrane due to protect moisture seeping from the foundation/subfloor.. Once you get urine on in the cracks of your food floor it's obviously going to go on the vapor padding and great moisture... Now you're looking at replacing wood flooring and vapor barrier 😂
I would try mopping with several types of cleaners. First a bleach/water mixture. Then lysol/water mixture. Then maybe vinegar/water mixture? Let the floor dry very well between moppings. Then seal the floor with either Kilz or Zinsser.
So your solution in this case is to get rid of the carpet and get rid of the pad and then scrub the floor in preparation for new carpet and new pad, correct?
I was wondering the same exact thing...listen, I know that our furbabies can have accidents from time to time, but my gosh, take your damn dog out a couple of times a day. I feel lazy sometimes but I get up or my husband gets up and does it anyway. I'd rather take him out real quick, let him release, then have to deal with this disgusting filthy mess. My thing is right now, I just rescued a beautiful boy 3 days ago, he smelled aweful. Gave him a quick bath as soon as we got him home, but honestly it wasn't a super great bath but it helped a little, so I made him a appointment to get groomed by a professional 😊 this afternoon. Now, for the past 2 days he's been laying on my rugs and stuff and that smell kind of lingers on any fabric so I'm just trying to find a way to get rid of the little bit of doggie smell by the time he comes back home nice & fresh from the groomers....
I’m British so our products are different & services are different . My problem is worse than carpet because the urine has soaked into a porous wooden floor . I’ve been trying to resoak the wood with vinager & bicarb of soda . Any suggestions from anyone here ? Thankyou
Maybe they can resend and reseal wood first. Also Ozone treatment is effective for odors. I knew someone that had to take out 2 ft of drywall near trim and replace insulation there too from cat urine
It's probably too late now, but I'd advise against the baking soda and instead suggest orange oil... though it might take a lot of applications if the wood was saturated. Oxalic acid removes stains in wood, but not sure it'd work for the odor.
He's right... the very best way in a nightmare--really stinky urine, etc.... is to tear up the carpet & pad. I've used 1/2 bleach 1/2 water Then give a day or 2 to dry, maybe use fans and crack window a couple inches to get the humidity out, once dry use primer (preferably oil base) to seal up any remaining odor. Then put the new pad and carpet down. Another thing that idk was mentioned in this video is if you have cats... they sometimes will spray urine up the lower walls so there again... clean and repaint your walls... to seal up odor. That should do the trick... you could smell your furniture also... maybe you have to replace that as well etc, etc & your welcome! OH...and if your animals are spraying your carpet you might want to gate them in the kitchen or get a large enough kennel... those metal wired ones are nice. Potty train your animals. If our dog goes pee outside he gets free time... to roam in the living room. Gradually increase the free time as long as they are not having accidents... this takes a watchful eye until they are trained. 24/7
Ill never own another male cat again if our house has carpet.. he has destroyed our house. Our own bedroom wreaks so bad i wont even sleep in there anymore.
WTF! That carpet needs to be replaced! Disgusting! The cost of this carpet cleaning service - no matter how good he is - will equal or be more than replacing the cheap quality carpet.
Replace the carpet with either wood floor or even better tile. I don’t know why people like carpet that shit gets nasty after 10 or so years. Even if you don’t have pets it smells like stinky feet with wear and tear.
we have females that are fixed. Its a parsons terrier. She has destroyed at least 3 sets of carpets in 2 different houses. Good thing we love her or she would of been gone a long time ago.
Yea, he recorded this for the owners and did an after thought and stated I could put this on CZcams and have people watch this, make a little extra change(💰) for myself. Two jobs, doing one day of work. Happy me😄
I appreciate your advice but it was directed to homeowners. Who can just rip it all out and replace. What are renters supposed to do? We can't just tear it out and replace it. Please address this situation for renters. Thank you
Common sense is to either continuously clean it and spray air fresheners cause for bad cases there is no other way to remove the odor but to rip out the carpet
that carpet had a mild problem compared to the carpet I just pulled out of a house. They had a rat dog pissing on the carpet at will for the last 15 years. The acid in the urine had completely destroyed the particle board underlayment, turning it into stinky sawdust. In the thousands of homes I've seen, it was by far the worst (because the problem was everywhere as opposed to just one area). However, the owners were so lazy that they never bothered to try to get rid of the stink and because of that, it didn't stink nearly as bad as it does when people try to use deodorizers to kill the stink. Deodorizers do nothing but magnify the problem.
Definitely do not put carpet down on that floor again if they have animals. We got rid of all our carpet and put in amazing waterproof luxury vinyl planks, and it’s the best thing we ever did. Same price as good carpet and no hassle.
RIP up the carpets and pad,throw down cat litter and leave it for 24-48 hours,sweep up cat litter and mop hardwood floors with bleach water let dry and stain floor and varnish lighty.
Or stay outside until bedtime period. Residual dog urine is bad for our frikkin health and smells Horrible. Urine,chemical cleaner, urine, chemical cleaning pattern is horrible.
We have 3 cats and one dog, the cats have ruined my kids carpet and I've tried everything and nothing worked. My husband ordered this today so this afternoon I'll give it a try and pray it works.
"I'll give it a try and pray it works." don't bother. it won't. you have to get rid of the little assholes using your home as a toilet or resign yourself to living in filth. Those are your two options.
Step one, train your pet. Step two train your pet. Step three, if steps one and two are unsuccessful, get off your ass and buy pads for your pet and/or kennel your pet. If all three steps are unsuccessful, admit to yourself you should not have a pet. The example shown happened over many many weeks and months. That’s an unhealthy situation for both the pet and the owner.
I’m here because we just bought a home I knew I had smelled something when we first came to see it and it. Was mostly in the basement so we did buy the house and when we put the central air on the entire house smelled I’ve slowly started cleaning the vents walls and floors upstairs it smells tons better now downstairs in the basement still needs work it’s the only place on the house that has carpet at some point I want to just remove the rug all together and not bother getting a pet my kids want pets but if this is what I’m going to have to deal with no way Jose lmao 🤣
While I respect your choice to not get a pet, just understand that properly trained, healthy pets who are properly taken care of and given attention do no typically eliminate outside of their litter box or in the house if they are a dog. The problem normally comes in when a pet is very sick, when someone does not properly train them, or if they are mistreated/stressed/uncared for/neglected.
Well, I guess were all screwed now. Have your dogs wear a diaper I guess. I got carpet that had the rubber backing thinking that would help. I guess not.
Just can never understand why landlords who accept pets allow small dogs and cats.. biggest offenders of peee. I lived in an apartment that wreaked and the landlord said they "shampooed the carpets" .. shampoo? Had to break the lease, I'm allergic to cats and the closet wreaked.
Great! Meanwhile THOUSANDS of dollars later. Thanks for telling it like it is....which is something I was afraid of. We have way too many cats and thus, the ammonia odor is keeping us from having guests at our house. Yes, we are fostering them for adoption, so hopefully we can rip up the carpet AND padding once THAT happens. Gotta take out a loan though....hmmm..
No you don't, I'm a professional carpet cleaner. This option is just the "surefire" 100% elimination guaranteed service. Get yourself some enzymes and saturate the shizz out of your carpets mate. Let me know what country you're in and I'll recommend one. Should cost about $60-$200.
@@neildepressedtyson540 America. I tried using baking soda and vinegar...soaked for SEVERAL days, THEN shampooed with a Kirby using a combo of their shampoo with Purple Power, still nothing! I'm soooo frustrated. You'd think by now someone would make a carpet cleaner that you just pour on your carpet let it sit 24 hrs, vacuum and DONE! I haven't found that yet, but when I DO, I'm gonna buy them out!! Thanks for the advice! I shop on e-bay, so maybe I can find something on there.
@@barryallenflash1 they literally have those products mate, baking soda and vinegar doesn't do anything on carpets. Fire away whatever questions you've got, I'll answer them-- but what you're describing literally does exist
@@neildepressedtyson540 So, I found a company on e-bay that sells an enzyme based cleaner that is dormant until you use it. It's activated once it has "food", ie urine, poop, etc. What are your thoughts on that? It makes sense to me. If the enzymes are ALREADY active, they will die out by the time you're ready to use it.
So basically the real solution is to replace the carpet lol. That’s lame. What happens when the animals keep peeing on the new carpet? Just gotta get new carpet all the time? Fuck that.
I cleaned carpets for over 25 years and you are honest. I use to have home owners ask if we could get the smell out and they never want to hear you need to trash the carpet, pad, tack and seal subfloor. They will always call someone else until it dawns on them that I was right.. lol
smh they don’t want to pay but should have done their research on keeping dogs indoors of a carpet floor house. It costs.
I think everyone knew replacing the carpet was an option 😂
I've been doing this for 11years and you explained it quite well . Best of luck to you
Legit
Carpets holds onto SO many odors, pet urine being one of the worst. I honestly don't know how some people can live with the smells that come from their carpets.
Not what I wanted to hear but damn honest! Thank you! Best yet!
Problem solved until the animal pees again .
Right and also what if your not rich enough to to replace carpet. we have 3 elderly dogs and accidents are going to happen
With cats, they will keep spraying again again and again….
@@nicolecarnevale1071 yeah it’s bad.. I don’t like that but I love my cats
@@ashleyschadegg22 good question.. Might need a carpet removed and replaced with hard floor
Solution: get rid of your nasty pets!
Lesson learned: Lose the carpets and install LVF or hardwood floors, add throw rugs and replace alot. Problem solved.
I'm going to have to do that 😪
We did that in our old house, and for some reason in our new house thought our dogs would be better nope.. we had to replace what carpt there is twice, and we replaced quite a ew areas with vinyl planks. Having a dog that refuses to be potty trained is an expensive PITA.
For the past 18 years I've grabbed that cheap plastic runner you cut to length from Lowes. Our carpets are still white; no pet smells!
Bingo!
I have LVF, I wish I had tile. So much easier to clean and maintain

👍👍
Pretty much if you don't catch it fresh your not getting rid of it forever it'll just sit there until you replace the whole carpet
We moved to a place that the PREVIOUS OWNERS animals were the issue. Not everyone can rip up a carpet either.
If you are renting and the owner says you can't pull up the carpets, you can't pull up the carpets...@@rustytr

I've used 1/2 bleach 1/2 water Then give a day or 2 to dry, maybe use fans and crack window a couple inches to get the humidity out, once dry use primer (preferably oil base) to seal up any remaining odor. Then put the new pad and carpet down. Another thing that idk was mentioned in this video is if you have cats... they sometimes will spray urine up the lower walls so there again... clean and repaint your walls... to seal up odor. That should do the trick... you could smell your furniture also... maybe you have to replace that as well etc, etc & your welcome! OH...and if your animals are spraying your carpet you might want to gate them in the kitchen or get a large enough kennel... those metal wired ones are nice. Potty train your animals. If our dog goes pee outside he gets free time... to roam in the living room. Gradually increase the free time as long as they are not having accidents... this takes a watchful eye until they are trained. 24/7
Great job , i hate the smell of pet urine . I use kirby remover works awesome
I just moved into a new rental and the house stinks so bad on cat piss! If the real estate doesn't fix this? I'll be screwed! Cheers from Australia
Ill never own another male cat again if our house has carpet.. he has destroyed our house. Our own bedroom wreaks so bad i wont even sleep in there anymore.
Back on me… back on carpet… ok back on me
How can anyone afford this everytime your pet uses the potty in the house?
Get floors that last like tile or hardwood
Some people are rich, my parents get new floors every 8-10 years because they get bored with them lol.
@@mustasheolll2020 I just shampoo mine alot.
WTF! That carpet needs to be replaced! Disgusting! The cost of this carpet cleaning service - no matter how good he is - will equal or be more than replacing the cheap quality carpet.
Right
Replace the carpet with either wood floor or even better tile. I don’t know why people like carpet that shit gets nasty after 10 or so years. Even if you don’t have pets it smells like stinky feet with wear and tear.
I wish I could get hubs to agree to snip our intact male. It doesn't mater how many times or he goes while we're outside, he still does it.
we have females that are fixed. Its a parsons terrier. She has destroyed at least 3 sets of carpets in 2 different houses. Good thing we love her or she would of been gone a long time ago.
I service a lot of apartments and they think there's always a solution to pet urine oh just clean it
That was a mouth full of a job description
Yea, he recorded this for the owners and did an after thought and stated I could put this on CZcams and have people watch this, make a little extra change(💰) for myself. Two jobs, doing one day of work. Happy me😄
That's the reason why I won't have any pets in the househouse.
if you want pets in the house live in a log cabin with a dirt floor !
I appreciate your advice but it was directed to homeowners. Who can just rip it all out and replace. What are renters supposed to do? We can't just tear it out and replace it. Please address this situation for renters. Thank you
if your animal didn't do it, the apartment should be replacing the carpet.
@@itsredslife no friends dog did it!
Common sense is to either continuously clean it and spray air fresheners cause for bad cases there is no other way to remove the odor but to rip out the carpet
I rent 4 years with no problems! Gotta show cats where liter box is they all good & clean out piss pile & crap! All good in the cat hut!
@@OscarLopez-gq4he mine never did it on carpet! After 73 years of several cats !
If they have the same dogs and cat...the problem isn't solved.
why not get tile?
? not everyone can afford to do that. and not everyone can do that if you live in a apartment as well.
put in top soil plant corn
that carpet had a mild problem compared to the carpet I just pulled out of a house. They had a rat dog pissing on the carpet at will for the last 15 years. The acid in the urine had completely destroyed the particle board underlayment, turning it into stinky sawdust. In the thousands of homes I've seen, it was by far the worst (because the problem was everywhere as opposed to just one area). However, the owners were so lazy that they never bothered to try to get rid of the stink and because of that, it didn't stink nearly as bad as it does when people try to use deodorizers to kill the stink. Deodorizers do nothing but magnify the problem.
I got rid of all of my carpet and laid down vinyl. End of peed on carpet.
Definitely do not put carpet down on that floor again if they have animals. We got rid of all our carpet and put in amazing waterproof luxury vinyl planks, and it’s the best thing we ever did.
Same price as good carpet and no hassle.
I banned my cat from my room
That was a nasty house.
Who lets their carpets get that filthy and stained?
So it takes over 5 minutes to tell us to replace carpet after you scrub the floor, oh well.
It was a fabulous explanation.
Odor removal? No tips, No hints, No clues.
At least the camera was “back to (him)”.
Not just pets trashing floors, i have a toddler problem 😂😢
The only solution is to change the carpet. Get rid of animals
How about TRAIN your pets and don't be an asshole
RIP up the carpets and pad,throw down cat litter and leave it for 24-48 hours,sweep up cat litter and mop hardwood floors with bleach water let dry and stain floor and varnish lighty.
Holly shit that’s nasty, I hate carpet lol
My husky peed on my leather couch what do I do
Throw it out no help 4 it& get rid of pet as well
Change the carpet and crate that damn dog. No free range until trained.
Or stay outside until bedtime period. Residual dog urine is bad for our frikkin health and smells Horrible. Urine,chemical cleaner, urine, chemical cleaning pattern is horrible.
We have 3 cats and one dog, the cats have ruined my kids carpet and I've tried everything and nothing worked. My husband ordered this today so this afternoon I'll give it a try and pray it works.
"I'll give it a try and pray it works."
don't bother. it won't. you have to get rid of the little assholes using your home as a toilet or resign yourself to living in filth. Those are your two options.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Step one, train your pet. Step two train your pet. Step three, if steps one and two are unsuccessful, get off your ass and buy pads for your pet and/or kennel your pet. If all three steps are unsuccessful, admit to yourself you should not have a pet. The example shown happened over many many weeks and months. That’s an unhealthy situation for both the pet and the owner.
Boring fell asleep half way through it.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I implore you to soak the carpet with hydrogen peroxide. Let it sit for ~7 minutes and use a strong wet vac to suck the fluids out.
Looks more like an animal discipline problem rather than professional carpet service problem.
I’m here because we just bought a home I knew I had smelled something when we first came to see it and it. Was mostly in the basement so we did buy the house and when we put the central air on the entire house smelled I’ve slowly started cleaning the vents walls and floors upstairs it smells tons better now downstairs in the basement still needs work it’s the only place on the house that has carpet at some point I want to just remove the rug all together and not bother getting a pet my kids want pets but if this is what I’m going to have to deal with no way Jose lmao 🤣
While I respect your choice to not get a pet, just understand that properly trained, healthy pets who are properly taken care of and given attention do no typically eliminate outside of their litter box or in the house if they are a dog. The problem normally comes in when a pet is very sick, when someone does not properly train them, or if they are mistreated/stressed/uncared for/neglected.
Do not get a pet until the odor is completely eradicated, otherwise you new pet will eliminate in the same areas.
ive used hydrogen peroxide when ive run out of kirby solution works a trea
A FEMALE dog over 50 lbs.. train her well. Mines never had an accident yet. She may when she gets old though.
Well, I guess were all screwed now. Have your dogs wear a diaper I guess. I got carpet that had the rubber backing thinking that would help. I guess not.
Just can never understand why landlords who accept pets allow small dogs and cats.. biggest offenders of peee.
I lived in an apartment that wreaked and the landlord said they "shampooed the carpets" .. shampoo?
Had to break the lease, I'm allergic to cats and the closet wreaked.
Goddamn!
Remove the carpet 😮
I amount of carpet cleaning can get rid of pet odor from urine, especially cat. Just get new carpet!! Trust me!
Great! Meanwhile THOUSANDS of dollars later. Thanks for telling it like it is....which is something I was afraid of. We have way too many cats and thus, the ammonia odor is keeping us from having guests at our house. Yes, we are fostering them for adoption, so hopefully we can rip up the carpet AND padding once THAT happens. Gotta take out a loan though....hmmm..
No you don't, I'm a professional carpet cleaner. This option is just the "surefire" 100% elimination guaranteed service. Get yourself some enzymes and saturate the shizz out of your carpets mate. Let me know what country you're in and I'll recommend one. Should cost about $60-$200.
@@neildepressedtyson540 America. I tried using baking soda and vinegar...soaked for SEVERAL days, THEN shampooed with a Kirby using a combo of their shampoo with Purple Power, still nothing! I'm soooo frustrated. You'd think by now someone would make a carpet cleaner that you just pour on your carpet let it sit 24 hrs, vacuum and DONE! I haven't found that yet, but when I DO, I'm gonna buy them out!! Thanks for the advice! I shop on e-bay, so maybe I can find something on there.
@@barryallenflash1 they literally have those products mate, baking soda and vinegar doesn't do anything on carpets. Fire away whatever questions you've got, I'll answer them-- but what you're describing literally does exist
@@neildepressedtyson540 So, I found a company on e-bay that sells an enzyme based cleaner that is dormant until you use it. It's activated once it has "food", ie urine, poop, etc. What are your thoughts on that? It makes sense to me. If the enzymes are ALREADY active, they will die out by the time you're ready to use it.
What are the names of those products?@@neildepressedtyson540
So basically the real solution is to replace the carpet lol. That’s lame. What happens when the animals keep peeing on the new carpet? Just gotta get new carpet all the time? Fuck that.
